This Woman Named Her Son Jihad And Sent Him To School In A Shirt That Read "I Am A Bomb"

1. Bouchra Bagour is currently on trial in Avignon, charged with glorifying terrorism for sending her son to school in this T-shirt. It reads “I am a bomb” on the front and “Jihad: Born On September 11” on the back.

2. Bagour defended the shirt, claiming she just wanted to make note that the birthday of her son — who’s actually named Jihad — is September 11th. She claims she did not intend to reference the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

3. Bagour faces up to five years in jail and fines of as much as 45,000 euros ($57,000) if she’s convicted. Her attorney is currently asking that the trial be postponed until next year due to complications.
